What will it take for New York politicians to connect the dots between crimes they deplore and foolish criminal-justice \u201creforms\u201d they support? <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams joined other members of the pro-criminal lobby at a Chinatown presser to denounce the latest act of anti-Asian violence \u2014 and naturally made no mention of the recent laws that allowed the latest attacker to continue his crime spree.<\/p>\n

Alexander Wright, the homeless man charged in the sucker-punch of an Asian woman, has 17 prior unsealed arrests, has missed court twice in the last year and has an open assault case in The Bronx for allegedly punching a 72-year-old man in the face; his rap sheet lists a staggering 40 arrests.<\/p>\n

Wright is finally<\/em> being held on $15,000 cash bail for Monday\u2019s vicious attack, but only after multiple rounds of revolving-door \u201cjustice\u201d for the earlier charges.<\/p>\n

Notably, one judge spared him jail time if he would attend five sessions with Manhattan Justice Opportunities, a city \u201cdiversion\u201d program. But Wright didn\u2019t show; he instead continued to randomly attack innocent New Yorkers.<\/p>\n

Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, whose district covers Chinatown, is a staunch supporter of the mindset that put Wright back on the street. She even argues that the no-bail law is not to blame for repeat offenders. \u201cI think people shouldn\u2019t be just arrested if they need mental-health services,\u201d Niou said to ABC7 News<\/a>. She also told NPR<\/a> that she was \u201cheartbroken seeing how many of these incidents keep happ<\/a>ening . . . we are humans, too.\u201d <\/p>\n

But an arrest was the only way to get a menace like Wright (who told prosecutors he was responsible for two attacks on May 27) off the streets. Yes, the goal should also be to get such troubled souls off the street and into treatment \u2014 but protecting the public has to come first. The no-bail law backed by Niou did nothing to put Wright into treatment, it simply let him go free.<\/p>\n

Plus, lots of perps aren\u2019t <\/em>mentally troubled, they\u2019re just plain mean. Throwing open jails and prisons tells bad guys that there\u2019ll be no consequences for their assaults on society. That message has sparked the gun violence and rising disorder that now threatens to derail the city\u2019s recovery. <\/p>\n

Public safety should be every elected official\u2019s Job One \u2014 not a cause they take up only when a politically incorrect crime makes the headlines.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
